out about batteries ... thanks ...

Well, a double son of a gun. I just got off the phone with our local
dealer and he told me to check the date codes. Only those between
certain dates are applicable. I'm off to get a load of sawdust but when
I get back I'll be getting out my reading glasses.

Yeah, that's the most recent model I think. The older one has been the
cause of two explosions so far. All this talk about them makes me wonder
if the batteries I've got are really supposed to be used in the same
drill. I thought, 18v is 18v. Yep, time to do a bit more research.
